Cash register game of skill

A game of skill, comprising:

• a) a housing having a front wall, a rear wall and a top transparent wall extending therebetween, the front, rear and top walls defining a chamber, the rear wall resembling a cash register,
• b) a target adjacent the rear wall and including a plurality of compartments, the target comprising a drawer and resembling a cash drawer of the cash register, the rear wall including an opening formed therein for slidably receiving the drawer,
• c) oscillation means for oscillating the target between a first position wherein the plurality of compartments are closed and a second position wherein the plurality compartments are open,
• d) each of the plurality of compartments including a floor having a pivotable gate, the gate being closed in the second position and open in the first position,
• e) a chute mounted under each of the plurality of compartments, each chute having means for detecting passage of a projectile therethrough,
• f) a projectile mechanism adjacent the front wall and selectively operable to project a projectile toward the target, the projectile mechanism comprising a solenoid with a plunger, the plunger extending when the solenoid is activated to strike a projectile and project it toward the target,
• g) actuating means for actuating the projectile mechanism, and
• h) control means for controlling the oscillation means and for activating and maintaining the game.

A game of skill, comprising:

• a) a housing having opposed front wall and rear walls, a top transparent wall extending therebetween and opposed side walls positioned between the front and rear walls, the front, rear, top and side walls defining a chamber, the rear wall resembling a cash register,
• b) the cash register having an arcuate portion along a top end of the cash register, a display and a plurality of simulated buttons disposed along the arcuate portion in vertical columns, the simulated buttons having illumination means contained therewithin,
• c) a target adjacent the rear wall and including a plurality of compartments, the target comprising a drawer and resembling a cash drawer of the cash register, the rear wall including an opening for slidably receiving the drawer, the opening formed below the arcuate portion of the cash register,
• d) oscillation means for oscillating the target between a first position wherein the plurality of compartments are closed and a second position wherein the plurality compartments are open,
• e) each of the plurality of compartments including a floor having a pivotable gate, the gate being closed in the second position and open in the first position,
• f) a chute mounted under each of the plurality of compartments, each chute having means for detecting passage of a projectile therethrough,
• g) a projectile mechanism adjacent the front wall and selectively operable to project a projectile toward the target, the projectile mechanism comprising a solenoid with a plunger, the plunger extending when the solenoid is activated to strike a projectile and project it toward the target,
• h) actuating means for actuating the projectile mechanism,
• i) control means for controlling the oscillation means and for activating and maintaining the game, and
• j) projectile return means for depositing all projectiles employed in the game in a central location and for selectively providing projectiles to a player of the game.
